SCAN BEFORE YOU DUMP™
Don’t leave it here. We’ll help you find where it can go.
A professional QR sign gives people a useful next step before they leave unwanted items at a private dumpster area.
Helps deter unauthorized dumping. No app needed. No account required.
A helpful next step before unwanted items get left behind.
Each participating property gets a permanent QR destination tied to verified local pickup, reuse, recycling or disposal information.
Unique QR
Each participating property gets a permanent QR destination tied to a site ID.
Local Research
We connect the page to verified pickup, drop-off, reuse, recycling or disposal information for that community.
Physical Sign
The QR is placed on a professional sign, gate sign or durable sticker at the dumpster area.
Local Options
The visitor selects the material and sees the available legal next steps for that location.
Common unwanted items, one simple starting point.
The QR landing page can route people toward verified local resources for the material they actually have.
Use the format that fits the property.
Full Enclosure Sign
The primary high-visibility format for a dumpster enclosure wall or another approved mounting surface.
Gate Sign
A narrower format for gates, fencing or properties where the full enclosure sign is not the right fit.
Durable Sticker
A compact option for limited mounting space while keeping the same permanent QR destination.

Simple by design.
Do I need an app?
No. The QR opens a normal mobile web page.
Do I need an account?
No. Version 1 does not require an account or precise-location permission.
Does the sign stop illegal dumping?
No. Scan Before You Dump™ is a tool that helps deter unauthorized dumping by offering a useful alternative before an item is left behind.
What happens when a disposal resource changes?
The physical QR can stay in place. The information behind the permanent property URL can be updated without replacing the sign.
Are all disposal options free?
No. Eligibility, availability, fees, hours and material rules vary. The page should direct visitors to the official resource to confirm current requirements.
Is this a city enforcement program?
No. Scan Before You Dump™ is an Adopt-A-Dumpster™ property-owner dumping-deterrence tool. A city relationship should only be stated when it has been formally approved.
Scan Before You Dump™ is a program under Adopt-A-Dumpster™. Adopt-A-Dumpster™ is a program of Secure Structure Alliance Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The program provides educational routing to verified public or service-provider resources and does not guarantee that dumping will be prevented.
